Bring ME the likeness, and the time, That any man can prove ; Then know the Bride must sure be here Hath she denied my love? Because the sheep he did not keep- His brother dead, and he was fled, Should lead mankind astray; The woman then might make them grieve, If thou dost man deceive; I made her to complete man's bliss, I knew the serpent would molest; So now from Cain, it must be known, And he must fly, I say, like Cain, But said a bone should not be broke→ For in your hearts it never came, The golden days are near.

"Now what thou'st written I will answer; Then 't must be known Satan will come, And meet them with surprise; Into their mouths he'll put bis hand; But let them now be wise His fingers bite, his offers slight, And then they must come off: For though he watch'd them in the night, I'll bring his schemes to nought: His hands I'll clear, thou'st nought to fear, And bite his thumbs away. But now to thee I'll answer here, It is too much for thee To feel, and know, how things do go, Will careless go alone; He'll headlong run, and down he'll come, When this is done, his father's hand When in their father's hand; When tir'd they grow, thou well dost know, If sleepy in his arms they grow, If she's assaulted in the way, Sooner than see their Bride become A challenge send, mark what thou'st penn'd, Thy eyes thou drown'st in tears; To bear my armour then, To draw a sword (I mean the WORD,) To say my Bride hath been misled, And an adulterer ?
